How is a small online store meant to comply with the new EU legal guarantee notice and GARAN label?
Sellers to EU consumers now have to display the harmonised legal guarantee notice, and producers offering a long durability guarantee need the GARAN label per product, but small stores learn about it from forum posts and have no tool to tell them what applies.
Who has it: Small ecommerce sellers and Shopify or WooCommerce store owners selling physical goods to consumers in the EU, plus the agencies that build their stores.
Evidence

Existing players
- European Commission templates · The official notice and label templates can be downloaded, but the seller still has to work out where to show them and which products need a label.
- Store policy generators · Built around privacy, cookie and terms pages; the per-product decision on the GARAN label still sits with the seller.
- Ecommerce lawyers and agencies · Can do it properly, but a one-person store rarely pays for advice on a single notice.
What they are missing
A store plugin that checks the catalogue and the storefront, places the official notice in the right language for each EU market, asks the producer the few questions that decide whether a product needs the GARAN label, fills the label from product data, and keeps a dated record of what was shown.
